Sea Serpent

Sea Serpent arrived at the Wildwood shore on June 27, 1984, bringing Dutch Vekoma steel to Morey’s seaside midway. It was the first Vekoma Boomerang built to open in the United States, a compact piece of international engineering set down among the lights and salt air of the boardwalk. coasterpedia.net

Its installation belonged to the remaking of Marine Pier into the Mariner’s Landing area. For the visitor walking out from the boards, the coaster became part of that pier’s busy summer prospect, with the train climbing, pausing, and returning above the crowd. en.wikipedia.org· moreyspiers.com

The ride is arranged as a grand out-and-back shuttle. The train is drawn backward up its first lift, released through the station and its three inversions, then lifted again and sent home in reverse. It is a neat seaside trick: the same journey shown to the traveller twice, first one way and then the other. coasterpedia.net· moreyspiers.com

Sea Serpent has continued in service into the present day. Coasterpedia records that its train was replaced in 2020, while the park’s own ride page still lists Sea Serpent among the roller coasters of Mariner’s Pier. coasterpedia.net· moreyspiers.com
